Qing Dynasty Chen Ming's "Moon Man Qing Tour Map" This article is excerpted from: Hanjiang Xue's blog (Sina) Author: Hanjiang Xue

Chen Mei (1697-1745 AD), also spelled Zaidong , was a native of Lou County ( present-day Songjiang , Shanghai ) . His paintings first learned from the Song dynasty, and then compromised with Tang Yin, participated in Western methods, and could paint mountains and valleys, peaks and forests, houses and bridges, people coming and going, and all colors in the inch-paper ruler, and his use of pens was the same huge canvas. During the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, under the guidance of Western painters and influenced by scientific observation methods, the volume "Yueman Qingyou Map" was exquisitely painted, depicting the palace ladies and their hostesses in and out of the courtyard against the background of the monthly climate change. This album is "Chen Chen Ming Gong Painting", and the plutonium "Chen Ming" is printed on one side. Each opening is equipped with a Qing Dynasty Liang Shizheng's xingcao ink inscription, the section "Qianlong Years in the Afternoon autumn of September Shuochen Liang Shizheng inscription".

Chen Ming's "Yueman Qingyou Tu" is different from the rich concubine image of Zhang Xuan and Zhou Fang in the Tang Dynasty in terms of the aesthetic orientation of character creation, and takes the female paintings of Tang Yin and Qiu Ying in the Ming Dynasty as the aesthetic standard, and pursues a beautiful and flowing feeling. With their fine and smooth lines and bright and vivid colors, the painter depicts the concubines as slender, light and "weak in the wind". It shows the life of the rich and idle palace and the poverty of the spiritual world of the palace women.
